Hello Gentleman:
Back at this Evinrude 9.9 Model 10655R again after the last 2 summers of changing pretty much every part on the darn thing.
In my journey with this motor (wish I had started with this), I have now learned that the main Crank Case Seal is leaking and pulling air from both sides of the case (more on the right seal). As a result it's interfering with the vacuum system and the carb cannot pull enough gas on low speed to feed the cylinders.
I've been told by a mechanic that some guys have had some luck epoxying over the seal from the outside and avoiding a rebuild of the power head for a couple more summers.
Has anyone had experience with this? Any other solutions than ripping the head apart and replacing the seal?
Thanks for any help you have to offer.
Cheers
